Daily Diary: HVAD System
Reminder: Please bring your diary with you to each regular clinic visit!
The HVAD System is a continuous flow device. This means there may be a narrow pulse pressure, which can make it difficult to obtain a blood pressure. The VAD Team will discuss with you the best way to obtain your blood pressure.
1. If you have a palpable radial pulse, a blood pressure cuff will beused to obtain the measurements that you should write down inthe diary as SBP and DBP.
2. If you do not have a palpable radial pulse, a doppler and bloodpressure cuff will be used to obtain the measurements that youshould write down in the diary as doppler pressure.
It is important to manage and monitor your physical and LVAD parameters carefully while you have
the HVAD® System implanted.
